Like this one. Sure, It's a NICE machine, But $2,500? Hell no. Keep smoking that rock buddy.

What makes it higher is the dwindling value of the dollar, parts availablity, interest, and the fact that most have been scrapped out by now. Racing has a small influence...but does that mean you can flip a $500 250R to a prospective racer for $1000. To make the machine race ready that 5-$800 bargin gonna run you deep into the pockets. Motor, bearings, suspension, cosmedics, tries...so a race ready $2500 250R thats truely track worthy...is a bargin.

Those Honda tires are worth the $2,500! WTF?

[gomer202]

Prices arnt as bad as people think in Canada haha i got my 85 250r with almost new plastics and tires for $1000 and my 85 350x for $1300

well in my area in ny prices are way down. i triied selling my mint 86 big red with title and all original for 1000 $ last month and got no calls.. then i saw an 87 big red on cl and a week later and waited 5 days to call him and to my supprise when i called the guy and went and bought it for 300 $ when he wanted 1200 $ and it runs and its pretty nice... but who knows.....

You aren't listing in the right place. Go to glamisdunes.com. sell each one for 200.00. Send me 100 selling fee

I bet if I advertise there, nobody would be willing to drive to tucson to pick them up. Im getting ready to order a set of points and condensor for the 85 and get the thing running and keep the 79 for a future project of spare parts for the other 4 atc70's in the stable. jim

It seems up here they are way overpriced, ive seen a few yamahaulers with junk plastic and tires for around a grand when In reality they are worth a few hundred bucks.

At the same time it all depends what you want, I payed $700 for my 225 dx last fall. Prob a couple hundred more than it was worth, but items like that are harder to find.

and my Tri Z was a whole different story

So like said, you gotta pay to play!!

Like I said its pretty good for me i get decent 200es big reds for $300 and also aquired 5 free trikes last year haha so when people think they are so expensive here....they arnt atleast not in BC

I'd say 1984 was the peak of prices....As my 84 200X listed for 3549 new.

Wrong, I actualy was asking if the prices now days are higher or lower then they was around 10 years ago before the recession.

$3549?? Why so high? The 1984 Honda specs page on this site shows an approx. retail new price of $1748 for a 84 200x.

Decent running liquid trikes are still priced 1500 and up usually asking 2200 or more in MA CT RI. Otherwise prices have held about the same. You will find 350X machines usually listed 2500-3500 but the ones for 1000 to 1500 are what sell.

Some screaming deals can still be had and you will see the outrageous POS listings that will never sell for the asking price. Clean machines will cost more to buy now as years go by less are available.

My AZ title has "List price, 003299" First titled in 7/84.

I was a little off on my statement above. Not sure if that was selling price, or price for VAT.

I paid a LOT less than that for it LOL.
